ImBleu

I've been having difficulties on Ubuntu setting up mining. I have 2x RX 580 8GB cards running on the latest Ubuntu distro (16.04 LTS) with ample specs and storage available. My issue is that while compiling Genoil's miner, I ran into issues on the following command: udo apt-get install git cmake libcryptopp-dev libleveldb-dev libjsoncpp-dev libjsonrpccpp-dev libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev libreadline-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1 opencl-headers mesa-common-dev libmicrohttpd-dev build-essential -y Leaving me to have to install each individually (which worked). I managed to do the rest of the building correctly and went for OpenCL only (as no Nvidia cards). However when trying to start mining using the instructions on https://ethermine.org/, I was unable to create the bat file (or sh file) using the following parameters: setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0 setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100 setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -S asia1.ethermine.org:4444 -FS us2.ethermine.org:4444 -O 33205e99c796d3a3333b84685c3f3f20e41d3d7e.miner1 As when I put everything in a file, named mine.sh, upon launching it said that the commands could not be found. How can I start mining within the ethermine pool - am I missing something. (Build instructions here: https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/ ) Thanks!

So June is pride month and Taiwan just legalized gay marriage, so Thermaltake's case display systems all have LGBT Rainbow sleeved cables. Yaas?

The used market for AMD cards here is skewed from the mining craze - a second hand 480 being the same price as a new 580 and no R9 200 / R9 300 series cards around.

Yea they won't take a $6000 trip to Palo Alto to pick up a graphics card when they have free 2day shipping with Amazon prime.

As @Jurrunio said you can put a 7700k / 7600k in a B150/B250/H110/H170/H270/Z170/Z270 motherboard, but it will only overclock on the Z170 and Z270 options. Intel bins their CPUs which means that they only make 7700ks but the CPUs that don't perform well enough get underpowered and become 7700s/i5s/i3s/Pentiums etc. A Z series board normally has a good power delivery, you can check mine for example (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH-Z170-S/specifications/) which lists under "Special Features" that it has an "8 +4 Digital Phase Power Design" which allows more stable power delivery and better safety in the event of a power surge or short circuit. These benefits are only present on higher end boards (lower end Z series don't even have them) so really for a high end system with anything above a 1070 you want to get an at least decent Z170/Z270 board. They also sell better second hand once it's time for an upgrade than a B250 board (good luck selling a B250 second hand at all if you live in a reasonably affluent city / county). You can see that the Z boards tend to retain their value even once they're 5+ years old (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-P8Z77-WS-LGA-1155-Intel-Z77-SATA-6Gb-s-USB-3-0-ATX-Motherboard-/322538360048?hash=item4b18c8ccf0:g:NoUAAOSwSlBY3uso#viTabs_0) . Just an all around better idea - but I see you're switching to a Z270 board (if you want to save cash, a Z170 will work perfectly fine - I use a Z170-S from Asus with my 7700k).

Please tell me you haven't ordered that yet - you're putting an i7-7700k and a GTX1080Ti on a B250 motherboard. You might as well drop down to an i7-7700 or i7-7600 (honestly I wouldn't put more than an i5-6400 on a B250 board). The B250 is the lowest end motherboard skew of the Intel product catalogue with the H270 and Z270 boards being way better for you. With B250 you will not be able to overclock the CPU, you will have limited numbers of fan headers and drive options and you'll have a worse power delivery for the CPU resulting in poor performance. Pay the extra $50 to go for a Z270 or Z170 board - there are many that are black/white themed.

Most Skylake motherboards support kabylake through a bios update (if before Nov 2016) or natively if newer than that. You can check the motherboard's page on the manufacturer's website and it should say "Supports 6th & 7th gen Intel processors".

Ram speeds don't work like that. If you have 1x DDR3 at 789mhz + 1x DDR3 at 2100mhz, you will not get 2889mhz. If you buy another 4GB HyperX Fury DDR3, you'll have 8GB Ram total running at whatever the LOWEST speed is, so if 1x 789mhz and 1x 2100mhz, both will be 789mhz.

An RX580 is $240 here, in stock and as an added bonus we have 0% sales tax / VAT tax

The H170 board is $75 with the b150 boards only being $55 at cheapest - I don't mind sacrificing an extra $20 for a board with better power delivery. The only part I think I could / should change is PSU which is $120.

Cant find it anywhere. The only H100 mobos available here are ITX/MATX so I went up to H170.

The RX480s are only $12 cheaper than the RX580s (both 8GB models) and only 580s are in stock. My plan is to go for the 2x 580s and then in 3 months time when I'm on 100% profit, buy a third and 4th card. Could look into solar power but I'm worried by the amount of trees near my house that I won't get enough direct light. our Summers seem to also have a lot of storms where the power output wouldn't be enough.

Oops. Screenshot shows correct values - will correct.

I want to get into mining ethereum as I have recently been doing quite a bit of research into it. I currently have 3 systems varying from 7700k + GTX1070, 7350k + GTX950 and 6300 + GTX1050Ti but these are all used for gaming only (the lower end ones being built for siblings). My power costs USD $0.15 per kW/h and my current plan is the below build: 1. Intel Pentium G4400 2. AsRock H170M Pro4 3. Corsair RM650X 4. Corsair DDR4 4GB Value Select 5. PNY Phantom 120GB SSD 6. Aorus RX580 8GB (x2) The above build coming out to USD $830. Based on CryptoCompare's calculator, I should get about 60MH/s with a profitability of $10 US per day or $300 US per month after accounting for power usage, being able to pay off my upfront cost in less than 3 months. Any experience with mining ETH using similar hardware or have I missed something? I have read that Linux works best so will be installing Linux on the system. At worst case scenario, I am also able to resell the 2x RX580s at $200 USD each based on current local pricing should the market crash. Thanks

Didn't sag with the 3x Ikea shelve brackets, although it is in a corner and I have a small metal one on the other side as well to give it extra support. I use these at the back (on 2 sides and in middle) http://www.ikea.com/hk/en/catalog/products/10181590/ but I used a saw to cut the "top" piece off so it's a flush triangle without the extrusion on the one side. The hole in the desk for the cables I have put in the center but offset about 1inch to avoid drilling through the support bracket and then used a black marker (paint would've worked too) to paint the inside of the hole so that it isn't that obvious with all the black cables going through. I am not yet finished with my setup as I still need to remount my monitor and speakers to my wall and do some serious cable management (also switching to a wireless mouse & keyboard to try limit cables) but hope to be finished soon.

I built a floating desk for my computer using wood a wood beam I mounted to the wall with 2inch deep anchors and then just built a frame to fit around it but I found it always dropped a little. I changed it to what I currently have which is a 120cm wide x 60cm deep ikea tabletop (real wood for sturdiness) with 3x ikea shelf brackets on the back wall (on 2 sides and in middle). Best system I've had and really minimalistic. I also built myself a floating bed which was easier as I could anchor to 3 walls. EDIT: Also for warning, I mounted my PC to the wall under the desk (but not so desk can sit on PC) and mounted monitor & speakers to the wall behind and it still sagged.

Correct, there are RCA inputs too, but the cables included with the speakers are only for 3.5mm and USB-B. Happy to use RCA

I can run them off USB or 3.5mm

I decided to buy the Audioengine A2+ in black for my setup, however I am wanting to wall mount these next to my monitor to clean up my desk space. Anyone have any recommendation for wall mounts I can use? Most on Amazon are for speakers that mount from the back but the A2+ have a mount at the bottom instead. On a side note, anyone know if it's possible to change which speaker is L and which is R? the Left speaker has all the inputs but is on the side of the wall where it'll be visible whereas the Right is in the corner. Thanks

Changed boot priority and disabled the old SSD, but asus still has it listed as the "if all else fails" option and wont let me change it. Tried forcing a boot from the new drive but nothing happened. Using EaseUS Todo for migrating purposes.

Bought a new SSD (Samsung 960Evo NVME 500GB) and want to make this my boot drive rather than my old Corsair LS 120GB Sata3 SSD. I have copied all files over using a migration software but windows and bios still treat the old SSD as the boot drive and wont use the new one. I have tried formatting the old SSD and have had no luck with that either. Please help

I have a founders edition GTX1070 watercooled from GALAX (KF2A I think is their other name) which has 1x HDMI, 3x DP & 1x DVI. My monitor, an LG 32in Ultrawide, is running off a HDMI cable. This leaves no HDMI port for my Rift. I have now tried the following with NOTHING WORKING. 1. DVI-HDMI Cable from GPU to Monitor 2. DVI-HDMI Adapter from GPU to Monitor 3. DVI-HDMI Adapter from GPU to Rift 4. DP-HDMI Adapter from GPU to Monitor 5. DP-HDMI Adapter from GPU to Rift. No matter what I use, I can not get a display on both my monitor and my Rift. I have tried all 3 of these (the cable and the two adapters) with my Brother's computer, with a GTX950, and My Friend's computer, with a GTX1050Ti and they all work flawlessly but I can't get any of them to work on my GTX1070 and it is really annoying me as I havent been able to use my rift properly 4 months into owning it and I'm on the verge of giving up.

Asus has this.

So nothing I can do then?

So I have a pretty annoying issue with my computer. I have a GTX1070 with a i7-7700k, an oculus rift and an LG ultrawide monitor. My 1070 is a reference unit with a 2xDP, 1xHDMI, 1xDVI-D as outputs and my monitor has 3x HDMI inputs. My Oculus Rift CV1 runs off an HDMI port, however as my monitor is done over HDMI I need to plug my rift into the only HDMI port on my rift. I bought a DVI-D to HDMI cable and tried this, but it wouldn't display on my monitor. I tried to use my existing HDMI cable (which works) with a DVI-D to HDMI adapter, which also isn't working. However, I tested both of these with my GTX950 and it worked flawlessly with the DVI-D to HDMI cable and adapter. Is my DVI port on my graphics card broken or am I missing something? It is annoying having to use a 950 for my rift when I have a 1070 which is way better for the task. Latest Nvidia drivers etc.
